"We have followed the development closely and the transition to Industrial Ethernet was foreseeable, but only now has it overtaken fieldbuses in terms of the number of newly installed nodes," says Thilo Döring, Managing Director at HMS. "The main drivers for Industrial Ethernet are the need for high performance, the integration of factory installations and IT/IoT systems and the Industrial Internet of Things in general."
